p dir="ltr"Midnight giggles, colliding on the other side of the log. She rushed into, setting up her tent emleaving/em Baby to attempt to the last bit. Why? The two girls were sharing a tent beside the two older Douglas boys./p
p dir="ltr"Samuel, Claudia, Tum Tum, and London were closer to a dark lake surrounding the campgrounds. They were further from the others who were a thick tree or two away from the bathrooms./p
p dir="ltr""Ugh!" Baby grunts, causing their tent to collapse. She feels her butt hit the ground as her red curls bounced to the front. Her bright blue eyes narrow into a glare./p
p dir="ltr""Are you two alright?" Colt comes rushing from the blue-grey tent the boys would be sharing./p
p dir="ltr"They had just got done when Baby remodeled the pink-white tent belonging to Midnight./p
p dir="ltr"His eyes are solely on Baby, ready to release a select few chuckles./p
p dir="ltr""Flame decided to allow us a fresh start on rebuilding. Nice to meet you, sir, I'm..." Midnight answers from laying on the leaf covered ground. She was upside down, making eye contact with the blue ninja./p
p dir="ltr"Baby pouts, folding her arms in a childlike manner. "Night, we had a deal."/p
p dir="ltr""So, you lost." Midnight smirks, watching Baby turn a new shade of white./p
p dir="ltr"Baby gets herself together. She isn't afraidy cat nor would she ever be. She ran nimble fingers in her red locks about to get up as Rocky stumbled from the blue-grey tent./p
p dir="ltr"Rocky had yet to look up at what was currently taking place./p
p dir="ltr""What did you bet?" Colt wonders, sticking a hand out to help Baby from off the ground./p
p dir="ltr""Why should I tell you? You'll come to know soon enough, Pony." Baby giggles, softly tapping his nose./p
p dir="ltr"Colt turns a bright pink. He gulps, wondering what emit /emcould be./p
p dir="ltr""I thought you girls were all finished." Rocky sighs, seeing the collapsed tent./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight hiccups, followed by a string of giggles. Her grey eyes were taking in the setting image of pink-lavender sky while taking in the crisp dying leaves. Her ears were picking up on the conversation, placing a light in her heart. "We were, at first."/p
p dir="ltr""Then, Night challenged me. I don't back down on challenges so I lost. I'm not a coward." Baby replies, scowling as her eyes flit to the girl keeping her gaze locked onto nature./p
p dir="ltr""Well, you best set it up. The sun is almost set." Rocky sighs, stepping over the tent to try to get it up./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight felt her breath stick in her throat as her eyes emfinally /emlanded on the beautiful blonde boy. She got a good view of the unconscious male as a silent sigh of a daydream escaped her. Her eyes grew a fraction like a child, spotting their favorite candy in the grocery store./p
p dir="ltr"His back was turned to her, making sure the legs of the tent were solid in the dirt./p
p dir="ltr""Rocky, has it ever occurred to you that not everybody is boring?" Baby takes a jab, smirking as the blonde frowns./p
p dir="ltr"Colt sighs, briefly taking off his blue jean baseball cap to run a hand through his chestnut brown waves. He softly touches Baby on the shoulder, striding over to help his brother finish setting up the pink-white tent for the second time./p
p dir="ltr""How am I boring?" Rocky asks, grunting as they soon get done. His eyes lock on Baby in a curious manner./p
p dir="ltr""Well, for starters-" Baby is about to give an answer when she stops herself short./p
p dir="ltr""We are ready for you to come join us at the bonfire. Smores, chocolate, and scary stories will be told." Samuel pipes, clasping his hands in unison./p
p dir="ltr"Baby strongrolls /strongher eyes, trudging from to where a brown-white tent is setup beside a pink-yellow one. She arched an eyebrow, wrinkling her nose in confusion./p
p dir="ltr"Colt follows after Baby, leaving behind the other two./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight looks away from the blonde before she's caught staring, grunting as she pushed herself to a standing position. She dusts the dirt off on her leather jacket, shaking her head at the blue-red odd ninja pair. "Have they started dating yet?"/p
p dir="ltr"Rocky feels shock course his veins. He turns, lifting an eyebrow at her. His face is pink from the cold nipping at his skin amongst other things. He had been strongready /strongto fall asleep in her arms on the ride to the campground, but was able to refrain from doing so./p
p dir="ltr""Why don't you ask them?" Rocky grins, appearing to hold onto a secret she doesn't know about. He looked light hearted more than what Midnight was used to./p
p dir="ltr"They both soon strongjoined /strongthe others in a quiet truce./p
p dir="ltr"•••/p
p dir="ltr""A man was killed here. On emthis /emvery campground." Samuel has begun that very night to weave his own emhonest /emtale./p
p dir="ltr""Boring!" Baby yawns, stretching her limbs into the darkened sky./p
p dir="ltr"A roaring fire was blazing upwards as they sat on logs around the small orange lick of hot flames./p
p dir="ltr""Yeah, why would they name this place Hope Springs if a man was killed here?" Tum Tum voices, having accidentally bumped London's knee./p
p dir="ltr""I'm up! I'm up!" London jolts upright, barely able to keep his eyes open./p
p dir="ltr""It's a sarcastic take. Hope Springs was given the name emonce the murder /emtook place. This is so people are thoughtless with their choice of camping for more victims to be picked. The legend dates all the way to-" Samuel is about to give them juicy details when his wife calls from inside the tent./p
p dir="ltr""Sam! Knock emit off/em!" Claudia roars, causing them all to jump./p
p dir="ltr"London furrows an eyebrow. He cited the story as one he heard before. He couldn't wrap his brain around the absurd idea, "1975?"/p
p dir="ltr""Yes and no." Samuel nods, frowning at how smart his new adopted son was. He clears his throat, ready to speak up when Claudia calls to him once more./p
p dir="ltr""SAM! I'm tired. Come to bed!" Claudia shouts, earning a roll of the eyes from Midnight. The woman had simply become too needy clinging to Samuel and his every move./p
p dir="ltr""I'm sorry, kids. Maybe, tomorrow night." Samuel promises, splashing water onto the campfire. He left them to talk quietly among themselves./p
p dir="ltr""We're not kids!" Baby whisper shouts into the dark, lifting an arm./p
p dir="ltr""Remind me, never to become like that over some blonde bimbo that isn't worth my time. I feel bad for Sam. Does he even actually love the treacherous bitch?" Midnight voices, forgetting her present company as she spoke aloud./p
p dir="ltr""I don't know. I don't like her either." Baby says, thinking the woman is too nice./p
p dir="ltr""She's too nice." Colt agrees, soothingly rubbing Baby's arm./p
p dir="ltr""Nah, you guys are strongwrong/strong. Chalk it up to your fears, but she's a good woman." Rocky pipes up from next to Midnight. His eyes were in a cold, hard glare meant for the lot of them all./p
p dir="ltr""Oh, did you have an affair with her?" London chuckles, recieving his first glare from the green ninja. His smile deflated instantly./p
p dir="ltr""Look, you guys aren't perfect no matter the lifestyle. We're all imperfect, right?" Rocky voices, relaxing a bit as Midnight meets his gaze./p
p dir="ltr""Do you have to always spoil the fun? You're about as boring a blank piece of wood. I can vouch for that piece of wood, bringing me more joy." Midnight raves, growing frustrated. A brief look of anger placated her features./p
p dir="ltr"His eyes briefly flashed one of hurt. Shivering the blonde stood up, briefly shooting them looks over his shoulder. "I'm getting some shut eye. Goodnight."/p
p dir="ltr"Watching him leave left Midnight with anxiety yet blended into relief and confusion./p
p dir="ltr""Night, did you have to be that rude?" London scolds, furrowing an eyebrow at the pink loving female./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight didn't. She couldn't help it, wishing she could have been kinder about her words. Of course, the events of the night wouldn't prove to be the only thing to keep her wide awake./p
p dir="ltr"strongTrouble/strong began where it was least expected./p
